It's not the talent - it's the coaching
All you need to do is read what Roy Williams (not ours, but the good one) said about you(no longer "us", b/c I'm a ashamed)

Very informative read

"What the Lions did — and what other teams did in December — is flood a zone with three receivers. Most teams will alter their coverage in that situation.

The Cowboys don't:bang2: :bang2: :bang2: :bang2: :bang2: . Opponents know where each defender will be and who is most likely to come open.

Roy Williams caught six passes for 104 yards and two touchdowns Sunday. Both of his scores were against cornerback Aaron Glenn.

"That's my boy,'' the former University of Texas star said. "He's an Aggie.''

There's the dig. Here's the plan: the Lions worked to get Williams on the same side as Glenn and Cowboys safety Roy Williams, knowing the safety would leave Glenn alone if the Lions threatened the run.

"That's why they call it play action,'' the Lions' Roy Williams said. "He's taught to fill a certain gap and that's what he's supposed to do.

"At the same time, we're running one-on-one with the corners. You can either run a go or a post or anything you want to do.''

Anything you wanted to do on this day resulted in Kitna throwing for 306 yards and four touchdowns.

"We knew that they leave the middle open a little bit,'' said Furrey, who caught 11 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown. "There are some catches to be made in there. That's their normal defense to leave four deep all the way across.

"And we knew we would be able to take advantage on the outside because they never switch off routes.''

Who hasn't taken advantage of the Cowboys secondary? Quarterbacks completed nearly 67 percent of their passes for 16 touchdowns in December. The Lions saw what New Orleans, Atlanta and Philadelphia did and duplicated that approach.

Next up in the shooting gallery is Matt Hasselbeck.

"It's a copycat league,'' the Lions' Roy Williams said. "This is what worked for those three teams. Let's try it for us, too.

"But it's the NFL. You make adjustments. Sooner or later, it's going to come to a halt.''

One way or the other."

CHANGE THE FRIGGIN COVERAGE YOU ASININE FOOLS!!!

Good Post!

I've been trying to say this for weeks now.

 

[Sarge]

But Parcells is a future Hall Of Famer........and he's better than Campo.

How much more does some people need to hear for cryin out loud.

their tight end caught eleven passes.



Good job Bill.

 

[30yrheel]

i think we have the worst staff in the league

If you are going to complain in big bold letters, may I suggest you at least get the position of the player in question correct.

Mike Furrey is their WR, not their TE. He also caught over 90 passes this season, so it is not like he Mike Karney-ed us.

You also said today that it isn't the coaching, it's the players.

Or have you already forgotten this?

Careful.......you will be considered a bandwagon fan. :laugh2:

Does it much matter? They had 2 players grab over 100 yards receiving.

is that better?

 

[MetalHead]

Isn't that article disgusting?
A 2-13 team comes to your house with a first year coach and puts 39 point on a defense that your hall of fame coach built?
What does that tell you?
I want Zimmer gone too,but in all fairness he's not a 3-4 guy.
It's all on Bill.

 

[30yrheel]

tight ends, wr's, fb's, who hasn't had field days against us? we have a bad combo going- poor coaching and terrible player performance.

 

[Alexander]

Does it much matter?

Actually, it does. If a TE catches eleven passes for over a hundred yards, you are really doing something wrong.

And honestly for a Mike Martz offense, that should not be unexpected. They are going to get their yards. Kitna topped 4000 yards yesterday. You don't accomplish that without having your WRs be able to top 100 yards a game with some degree of regularity.

What was more disgusting was their success in the redzone.

That was their problem all season long and they were able to score four touchdowns. That is what you might want put in big bold letters because that is where we failed the most.

 

[Ashwynn]

Wow. When players say that after kicking your butt, thats bad. I too am ashamed. GROTA. NOW.

 

[noshame]

I was hoping one of the Mods was going to start a petition to Jerry about canning thoe whole coaching staff. Jerry needs to realize the fans are not going to tolerate another year of a late season KO.

Have you noticed the difference between the parcells who was patroling the sidelines the first year and the Statue we have had the last three? Oh yea, except when he's smacking a assistant

Basically, Roy Williams(the Good one) just nutshelled why we smell on defense. We DON"T CHANGE - you can't play ZONE v.s. 3 WR's b/c the underneath stuff is there all day.

You also can't expect to cover the monster Roy Williams (again the real one) with 5 '9' Aaron Glen , I mean that was just absurd. That just shows Parcells doesn't know his personnel.

Excellent post bluedemon. I've been screaming this at the top of my lungs for weeks now. I just couldn't be heard because at the same time I was turning everyone off by staunchly defending TO the player.

I'm glad the defensive deficiencies have taken the front seat they so well deserve and I hope an active role is taken to right that side of the ball. Get us some motivators in the coaching department, start Carp, get another quick ball hawking LB in here, fix this Oline, and I am a very happy fan.

I think if you go back and read, and pay attention, you'll find that people were dissatisfied with more than just TO. That he was only part of it.

Well if they come out in 3 WR set - no matter where they are , Newman must cover their best WR , and go form there, so we have to go to a man to man . You can't sit zone and let them shred us undernerath.

I would also move Roy closer to the LOS to close more quickly on the Dump offs - he's no help deep so lets see if he can play a Rover type role for us.
